David Bell being reported as the favorite for manager. Should know by tomorrow or the start of the World Series.
He got the Angels job, wonder if the Reds offered and he turned them down. I don’t understand how Farrell wasn’t an option, he won a WS.Definitely not an exciting hire. Can't believe Ausmus even got a second interview. Thank God they didn't hire him
YesIsn’t Buddy Bell in the upper office?
Yeah, this hiring feels like an all in move with analytics driven baseball.I'm not too upset with this decision and it really doesn't matter who's given the job if the club doesn't give them a roster to be successful. Kinda think the Reds got to their Top 3 and then got stuck with the only one who didn't decide to remove themselves. Kinda been a theme in this coaching search which leads me to believe ownership has no actually plan to be successful...and once people saw this, they said thanks for the chat and walked..
How does it feel that way?Yeah, this hiring feels like an all in move with analytics driven baseball.
Is there any reason to believe Bell is at the forefront of baseball analytics, besides the fluff piece Indiadad posted?Screams of cheapness. If they really had a plan and commitment to winning the rebuild wouldnt be where it is and Girardi wouldnt have walked out the door.
Hopefully Bell does well and has success but with this upper management group I have a hard time finding the silver lining in anything they do.
I hope Bell does bring analytics to the forefront but most importantly is to help recognize the talent available and develop it.
Castellini just said at the press conference they're going to have record payroll next year. I'm encouraged but have my doubtsScreams of cheapness. If they really had a plan and commitment to winning the rebuild wouldnt be where it is and Girardi wouldnt have walked out the door.

He was hired by the Giants, an esteemed organization that gets it right more often than not, because of his analytics ability to run their player development using the wealth of analytic information available to them.Is there any reason to believe Bell is at the forefront of baseball analytics, besides the fluff piece Indiadad posted?
It's all about how they spend that additional money.Castellini just said at the press conference they're going to have record payroll next year. I'm encouraged but have my doubts
So what did he accomplish there in terms of antalytics and improving the farm system?He was hired by the Giants, an esteemed organization that gets it right more often than not, because of his analytics ability to run their player development using the wealth of analytic information available to them.
Girardi might be waiting for the Cubs job to open up next year. Maddon will be in his last year of his contract and Maddon and Epstein are supposedly not getting along all that well. If they don't get past the WC next year Maddon will probably be gone anyway. I'm surprised Girardi wasn't interested in the AngelsHopefully when Baileys contract expires they use that money to keep it a record year in spending.
If that is the case Girardi must not have been really interested and wanted his name out there for future openings and/or he didnt like the rebuild, plan, or commitment from the owners.
If they throw it all at a guy like Keuchel I'll be majorly disappointed.It's all about how they spend that additional money.
Right.....If they throw it all at a guy like Keuchel I'll be majorly disappointed.
Would $35M do the job in your estimation?They need two top level starters and another mid level starter in order to compete again. $20M is not going to cover that
Reds had a list of 90 (ninety) names at the beginning of the search. Lmao
David Bell.... He's 1 in 90!Reds had a list of 90 (ninety) names at the beginning of the search. Lmao
That's only happening in 2020 when Homer is off the books like Arrogate saidWould $35M do the job in your estimation?
$35M in pitching is possible if they move Billy and Scooter and add $18 M to the Payroll for an opening day payroll of ~$118M.That's only happening in 2020 when Homer is off the books like Arrogate said
